Please take a moment to spare a thought for Portsmouth fans. While we were upset at the thought of losing one of our star players, Portsmouth fans face the possibility of losing their entire club. The club released a statement today that they were on the brink of being closed down and liquidated. Portsmouth won the FA Cup in 2008, but financial circumstances have caused the club to decline rapidly, first being relegated from the Premier League last season and now to the point of potentially ceasing to exist.
